That means that the load through the fuse was right at the rating of the fuse -- blue is 25 Amps? The blower draws about that much; if the blower was hung up on something that had fallen into the squirrel cage it would draw current but not move. Once the fan gets to spinning, the motor will develop a "back EMF" and the current load comes down a bit.
